I think that sounds amazing, as much as i love wicked i hate to have to keep spending 100$ of dollars just to go see it again! a movie would be great but let it play a bit longer. dont jump to conclusions!

"but how can you make a movie saying that the wicked witch and the scarecrow go off together, when in the wizard of oz she dies. they should use the book, it makes more sense. it wouldnt contridict any of the other writings."

That's the point of WICKED: it tells us the stuff that was not told in The Wizard Of Oz. It's like 'you know a story about these characters, but here's what REALLY happened.' In the musical Elphaba tells Glinda not ever to reveal the truth about her actions and motives (= things we've seen on the stage show) or clear her name. Instead the citizens of Oz are let to believe that she was simply evil, and that's the story we know from The Wizard of Oz. So it's sort of 'propaganda vs. truth' setting... So it doesn't contradict any other writings at all.

Can somebody explain how the story is set in the
book. Cause I hear that the book and the musical
contradict or not as exact. If someone has read the
book completely, please explain how the
story unravels in the book. Updated On: 10/12/04 at 09:32 PM

I haven't read the book but i noe a lot of ppl who have and i do noe the real story.. in the book Fiyero dies and soo much more happens that would take years to explain but i herd that Nessarose doesn't hav arms in the book and Elphaba enhances the shoes to help her with her blance... i noe, its weird.

I think they were referring to the book, Wicked, not The Wizard of Oz.

Pet Peeve: "ppl" = polymorphic programming language
"noe" is a name that equates with Noah. If you mean "know", type "know". It's only one extra letter.
Cute chat shortcuts really annoy me, which I why I am never found in a chat room. Is it really cute, or just lazy?
I think this is necessary
